Extended Data Fig. 5: ϕ-meson ρ00 with respect to different quantization axes.
From: Pattern of global spin alignment of ϕ and K*0 mesons in heavy-ion collisions

ϕ-meson ρ00 as a function of beam energy, for the out-of-plane direction (stars) and the in-plane direction (diamonds). Curves are fits based on theoretical calculations with a ϕ-meson field2. The corresponding Gs values obtained from the fits are shown in the legend.
